Abstract

A multi-disc brake, particularly for vehicles, of the kind in which interleaved stator (22) and rotor (27) discs are compressed axially to effect braking. The invention provides rotor discs formed from a plurality of discrete circumferentially separated portions (27) releasably mounted in a rotatable member (23) having apertures (24) to permit radial withdrawal of the rotor disc portions (27).

Description

  • The present invention relates to an improved multi-disc brake, by which is meant a brake of the kind comprising interleaved, annular rotor and stator discs which are axially displaceable into frictional engagement to apply the brake, the or each rotor disc being non-rotatable with respect to the wheel being braked and the or each stator disc being non-rotatable with respect to the wheel axle so that when an axial, compressive force is exerted on the disc pack friction between a rotor disc rotating with the wheel and a stator disc held stationary relative to the axle will tend to arrest the wheel.
  • Multi-disc brakes have been in use for some years on aircraft, exploiting their high braking efficiency and thermal absorption capacity. Steel rotor and stator discs have been faced with linings or pads of friction materials capable of withstanding the high temperatures generated and to withstand exceptionally severe thermal conditions rotors and stators have consisted wholly of all-carbon composite materials.
  • The rotor discs of a multi-disc brake have had notched outer peripheries engaging dogs or splines on the inner periphery of the wheel and stators have had notched inner peripheries engaging dogs or splines of a torque tube stationary with respect to the axle. The hydraulic or pneumatic means for applying compressive thrust to the disc pack has been located at one end of the pack and a reaction member to receive the thrust has been located at the other end of the pack integral with the torque tube. It will be apparent that in such an arrangement the only way to gain access to a particular rotor or stator disc to inspect, service or replace it has been to slide the discs axially off one end of the dogs on the torque tube. The reaction member has been removed to permit removal of the discs from the outboard side of the wheel. Removal of the wheel may expose the outer peripheries of the discs of the pack but will not allow them to be removed in the radial direction because each disc is an annulus surrounding the torque tube.
  • A principal object of the present invention is to provide a multi-disc brake in which the complexity of, and the time and labour consumed in, maintenance and inspection operations are greatly reduced in that the pack of interleaved discs need not be disassembled in the axial direction. In an aircraft wheel it is desirable to avoid this need to remove the reaction member. In a commercial vehicle wheel it is even more desirable to avoid this need because as a preliminary the hub assembly would have to be removed. By achieving this object the invention will provide a brake more versatile in its application since one of the factors which inhibits application of multi-disc brakes to road or rail vehicles, for example, is the high maintenance costs which are acceptable in the case of aircraft because of the overriding advantages of a multi-disc brake for aircraft.
  • According to the present invention there is provided a multi-disc brake comprising a plurality of rotor discs drivably engaged by a rotatable member and interleaved with a plurality of coaxial stator members engaged with a non-rotatable member, the rotor and stator discs being axially displaceable, and a brake-applying mechanism for effecting relative axial displacement of the rotor and stator discs to bring the rotor and stator discs into frictional engagement with one another, wherein each rotor disc comprises a plurality of discrete circumferentially separated portions and releasable fastening means being provided to maintain said portions in position relative to the rotatable member, said portions being radially removable from the rotatable member on release of the associated fastening means.
  • Preferably the removable portions of the respective rotors are each axially aligned with a removable portion of an adjacent rotor and a releasable fastening means is arranged to engage axially aligned removable portions of at least two rotors to permit radial withdrawal of said axially aligned portions of the respective rotors when the associated fastening means is released.
  • A fastening means preferably comprises at least one pin arranged to pass through respective apertures in each associated rotor portion and through respective apertures in the rotatable member, and means to secure the pin to the rotatable member.
  • The fastening means preferably comprise two pins for each set of associated axially-aligned rotor portions.
  • The rotatable member is preferably a drum having circumferentially spaced axially elongated slots through each of which a set of axially-aligned rotor portions may be withdrawn upon release of the associated fastening means. The drum is preferably formed with ring-like ends and the drum slots are preferably each bridged by a pair of circumferentially spaced axially-aligned pins passing through aligned apertures in the ring-like ends, releasable securing means being provided for the pins so that upon release thereof the pins may be extracted axially to free the associated rotor portions for radial withdrawal of said portions through said slots.
  • A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:-
    • Figure 1 is a side sectional elevation taken in a radial plane through a wheel and brake assembly in accordance with the invention, and
    • Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional elevation taken on the line II-II of Figure 1.
  • The assembly illustrated comprises a wheel 10 rotatably mounted by bearings 11 on an axle 12. The disc 13 and rim 14 portions of the wheel 10 are removable, together with a pneumatic tyre (not shown) mounted on the rim 14, from a hub portion 15 by releasing wheel nuts (not shown) from studs, one of which is indicated at 16 in Figure 1.
  • Within the annular cavity on the inboard side of the wheel 10 is mounted a multi-disc brake assembly 17 which comprises a torque tube 18 stationary with respect to the axle 12 having at its outboard end a reaction flange 20 and at its inboard end a suitable hydraulic, or mechanical thrust applying means 19 which may be of any known kind and which in the example illustrated is of the kind described in U.K. Patent Specification No. 2,031,540 (CA 5901).
  • The torque tube 18 has a series of circumferentially spaced, axially extending dogs or splines 21 on which are located notches in the inner peripheries of steel stator discs 22 such that the annular stator discs 22 are incapable of rotation relative to the torque tube 18 but are axially slidable relative thereto under the influence of the thrust applying means 19 moving toward the reaction member 20.
  • As so far described the illustrated assembly is conventional. In accordance with the present invention, however, a drum 23'surrounds and is rotatable with the wheel hub 15, the drum having circumferentially spaced, axially alongated slots 24. Each of these slots 24 is bridged in the axial direction by a pair of circumferentially spaced pins 25 passing through aligned apertures in the ring-like ends of the drum 23 and releasably retained therein against axial displacement by respective circlips 26.
  • The slots 24 are five in number and the two pins 25 in each slot pass through respective apertures in each of four pads or rotor portions 27 such that in the completed assembly there are five pads 27 in each of four planes perpendicular to the axis of the disc pack. The five circumferentially separated pads 27 located in the same plane jointly constitute one of four rotor discs interleaved with the stator discs 22 and rotatable with the wheel 10 because of their retention on the drum 23 by the pins 25.
  • It will be apparent that the five pads 27 jointly constituting one rotor disc are capable of limited relative axial displacement when the thrust applying means 19 is out of engagement with the nearest stator disc 22 in the "brake- off" position illustrated but when the disc pack is compressed against the reaction member 20 by the thrust- applying means 19 all five pads 27 constituting a rotor disc will lie in the same plane through compression between adjacent stator discs 22 (or the reaction member 20 and the nearest stator disc 22).
  • To remove the rotor pads 27 from the disc pack it is necessary only to remove the wheel 10 from the hub 15 by releasing the wheel nuts engaged with studs 16, after which the circlips 26 may be removed to allow the pins 25 to be withdrawn from the drum 23 to the left as viewed in Figure 1. When the two pins 25 supporting an axially aligned group of four rotor pads 27 have been removed those rotor pads may be withdrawn from the disc pack radially outwardly with respect to the wheel axis. Obviously only the two pins 25 associated with one slot 24 in the drum 23 need be removed at a time so that only one of the pads 27 of each rotor assembly is removable at a time, the four remaining pads 27 of each rotor maintaining an axial spacing between the adjacent stator disc 22 into which the removed pads 27, or fresh pads:, can be inserted.
  • It will be observed that while the stator discs 22 are plain steel the pads 27 each have a steel plate faced on opposite sides by linings of a friction material other than steel, such as a sintered material, which in use will be subject to greater wear than the all-steel stator discs. Therefore the elements of the assembly which will require the most frequent replacement, namely the rotor pads 27, are those which are most accessible for replacement without the necessity to slide the discs axially off the dogs 21 of the torque tube. Furthermore, in a brake of the type having a drum it is unnecessary to remove the drum in order to replace the pads.
  • The invention has been described as applied to a wheel 10 adapted for the mounting of a pneumatic tyre and therefore suitable either for an aircraft or a road vehicle but it will be appreciated that it is also applicable to other wheels, such as those of railway rolling stock.
